Unfortunately I had no choice in the matter. It was the shipper's decision as to how to ship. They have shipped for me a couple of times within the States with no issues.

On a shipment from the United States valued at USD 50.00 and CAN 64.70, a GST of 3.24 was collected by FedEx (5% of 64.70), an amount I am certainly willing to pay. However, added to that by FedEx were the following:
Advancement Fee (because FedEx paid the GST for me in advance of delivery) = 10.00
Clearance Entry Fee = 19.30
GST on these two amounts = 1.47
Quebec Sales Tax on these two amounts = 2.92
Additional charges to pay 3.24 GST = 33.69
Fortunately I was able to talk this amount down somewhat because I was misinformed about these charges when FedEx called me about delivery, but that was a one-time rebate.
An earlier shipment valued at USD 20.00 was simply delivered to me with no additional charges. The Canadian de minimis amount is 20.00 which is probably why it escaped the customs broker.
